Well, that's the story he started sharing on Sunday, along with this photo.

As the story got shared more and more, Devorise even went on a local radio show to tell his rat tale.

But we think this chicken rat is a little fishy, and here's why:

First off, the photo. It def looks like a rat the way a cloud looks like one thing or another. It's a mousey silhouette. But remember when that lady found a chicken head at McDonald's? It was unmistakable. It had detail.

For instance, if the tail is intact, where are the legs? We don't recommend this, but you can look up photos of fried rats on the web.

Also, in this pic from another angle, the supposed rat head he bit into just looks like white chicken tender meat — no skull or other grossness.

Based on all that, we're guessing this is just a very oddly shaped tender.

Obviously KFC would like this to go away. They can't straight up deny it since Devorise has the evidence in his freezer. But they at least say they're trying to get in touch to settle this:

"KFC takes customer claims very seriously, and we are continuing to investigate this matter. Our chicken tenders often vary in size and shape, and we currently have no evidence to support this claim. We are aggressively trying to reach Mr. Dixon, and we request that he return to the restaurant with the product for testing, or call us at 1-800-Call-KFC."

And it isn't just KFC's calls Devorise is ducking. He also isn't talking to the media anymore after that radio show.

Is he staying silent on advice of an attorney? Or has this hoax gotten out of hand?
